why have we got something so mean and nasty on the top of the page today? Why would you be ridiculing someone like that? So unnecessary and unpleasant. Poor guy didnt ask to be put in this position

How did it ever get approved?? I mean, how did the conversation actually go?

Yeah, poor guy 😂

It's insulting

Get rid of it

It's a personal attack....is that the spirit of the site now??

CornishGem1975 · 06/05/2023 08:18

It does seem a bit poor taste, regardless of feelings about the Royal Family today. Are we reduced to mocking people's personal appearance now?

Oneglassisnotenough · 06/05/2023 08:20

People
are just nasty. Seems particularly so on this site .

CosmosQueen · 06/05/2023 08:21

Highly ironic considering how frequently MNHQ chastise posters for being personal or bullying.

MandyMotherOfBrian · 06/05/2023 08:22

Oh just seen it - yeah how ‘hilarious’, you edgelords. Not nice.

Wiglio · 06/05/2023 08:25

Agree with PPs MNHQ please take it down
it’s not in the ethos of the site.
This stunt transcends whether you are a royalist or not, it’s a nasty cheap shot.

Backtobed · 06/05/2023 08:29

It's awful.

Why do they think it's acceptable when presumably they wouldn't do it in any other scenario. It also breaks their own guidelines.

MayBeeJuneSoon · 06/05/2023 08:35

Wonder if personal attacks elsewhere are being deleted

Let's see... might experiment

Poor guy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

determinedtomakethiswork · 06/05/2023 08:42

I agree. I'm not a royalist at all, but this is just making fun of someone's appearance which is nasty.

FlappyFish · 06/05/2023 08:42

I hate it. It should go.

SummerLakes · 06/05/2023 08:44

They're not mocking insulting him , but everyone with ears that stand out. Upsetting for their families as well who have probably had to deal with the fall out of bullying over the years.

TheApplianceofScience · 06/05/2023 08:44

As a Republican with a capital R, I agree this is in bead taste.

cushioncovers · 06/05/2023 08:46

It's mocking someone's physical appearance. If the monarch was a female with big boobs would you put a big pair of them on the logo? What about a big nose or crooked teeth? It's not appropriate.

SusanSHelit · 06/05/2023 08:46

I am about as far from royalist as it gets and I agree. It's really not on. Mean and nasty jibe. Not cool mnhq.

MithrilCostsMore · 06/05/2023 08:47

I think it's awful. Should never have been approved.

Fandabedodgy · 06/05/2023 08:47

Mocking personal appearance isn't funny.

GettingStuffed · 06/05/2023 08:48

They've just changed the m into king Charles, who's known for his big ears. I thought it was amusing.

HeidiUpTheMountain · 06/05/2023 08:48

It’s very juvenile and schoolyard bully type stuff. The little crown is fine, but mocking appearance is unacceptable. Please take it down.

Abra1t · 06/05/2023 08:48

'Be kind', remember?

hexsnidgett · 06/05/2023 08:49

I hoped they were corgi ears...

Alighttouchonthetiller · 06/05/2023 08:49

That's horrid. Really mean. I'm really quite taken aback, given how much we hear of things 'not being in the spirit' and all.

Please remove it.

Yayasisterhood · 06/05/2023 08:51

It’s horrible. I can’t believe they thought it would be funny? So many threads here talk about the life long effects of bullying as children, something like this gives permission to bullies out there that it’s ok to make fun of how people look. I don’t care about the king, but this is devastating.
